Couldn't resist it, I just have to bought the Rock-Ola from -63. But there are a couple of alu parts that needs to be rechromed. The cost for rechroming four single alu bars here in Sweden is close to $1000 :mad: Can anyone give a qualified guess of the price doing this in US? It's the alu...

Have anyone replaced the old 5-3/4" sealed beams headlights with new/better H4 headlights?

I think I have to rebuild the TH400 as there are more and more grey "mud" in the bottom of the pan after each year. I also got a feeling that it slips more and more. I also have leakage from the front of the TH400. My motor is quite strong and I race once or twice each year, but just for fun...

I did a miserable intruduction of myself when this site started for about three years ago. But now I have made a 4 min video of the car (and myself). Hope you like my "reintroduction"! Dont forget to turn on the subwoofer :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPeSXs-UDIw

It was a while since I was here, but I aint dead yet...... My shifter cable have is broken! The thin steel tube at the end is loose and slides forward/backwards when shifting. (The pic is not from my car, found it on CF, it's just to illustrate the cable) Can anyone confirm that this...

After removing the oil pan, I found that my 383 crank have collide with the horizontal baffle inside the pan. The baffle have been cut in two pieces that was moving around in the bottom of the pan. I know that there is some benefits using a baffle, but what I can see the baffle in my pan have...

Finelly my garage is ready! I thought it was a "piece of a cake" to do the last interiors, but it took me 6 month to end the work after the carpenters left. I did build all the interiors myself, painting, plumbing, lights, bricks..... Floor is 12"x12" polished granite bricks, I got them with a...

Shortly after I bought my car, I bought brand new weatherstrips from Ecklers and Mid American. Now after 5 years they have shrinked and what was perfect and tight fitting before is now a gap of 1/4"-1/2". The weatherstrips on the t-tops is worst. It's suppose to be close to the door window. I...

I was wrong when I said that only the fluiddamper was damaged! I thought from the beginning that it only was the key that was broken but this is not the case. The crank snout is badly damaged and the snout is conical. It seems like the damper have wiggeld more and more. And have now ended into a...

It started with a little rattle when accelerating, the sound came back a couple of times. Two hours later my balancer and pulley was hanging on the crancshaft bolts last threads. Last night I pulled out the balancer and found the key was broken. What caused the broken key? Can it be my 20...

Of course it happend when I was far (400 km) away from home... On the annual Summer Meeting here in Sweden. What happend was that the parking position doesn't work anymore, and it is difficult to lock the reverse gear. I took a look under the car and found the shift cables end was bending...

My gearbox doesn't hold the second gear when dragracing. Everything is warmed up and I always do a 1 sec burnout just to remove dirt from the tires. I have tuned the govenor with lighter springs and weights, instruction tells it should be possible to hold the gears longer if doing so...

Can't belive it! With my 14 years old std Nitto tires....... I tried to do it again but couldn't get any grip and the next best ET was 13.08 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C03chKg5UyA (I'm the one to the right)

Took the car to vintage race today. The timing system was malfunctioning the whole day, and I could only do three runs (before it started to rain). On the first race I didn't get any time slip at all. (G-tech 13.4) The second race was the best one, just a little spinning on first gear out...

Well, after my tuning of the carb and ignition this winter winter, I decided to check the result. I also tested the car last summer and the result was quite ok, 440 hp at 5700 rpm. (Drivetrain losses was calculated to 25%) According to Desktop Dyno , the CS XR280 cam should give its max power...

Ok! At last after 3 month (can't beleve it took so long time) my t-arms are back in the frame pockets again. Just took one hour to get the left t-arm pivot bolt in place last night :evil: New bearings, polybushings, shocks.... everything have been replaced/renovated, shimed and painted. But...

This is the strut rod excenter bolt and the poly bushing I just bought. The bushing fits well with no play on the shock mount, but seems to be too wide on this side. I know there is a washer that should be mounted on the bushings both ends, but it only takes up half the play. Is there different...

Ok guy's, now I need some advice! Now after my restauration (and relocated E-bracket) of the T-arms I need better tires. The rims I have now is 16" Boyd's, 7" front and 8" rear. The grip with my old Nitto 255/50/R16 is none and the tires spins up to 60 mph when WOT. Minimum width should be...
